        Genuinely not trying to be a dick, but I don’t understand what your response means?

          The response means, “I agree, but it’s not relevant to the topic at hand.”

          Yes, we need a better system. In the meantime, we need to work with what we have.

      I agree. The problem is getting a new voting system to be implemented. Neither of the two parties want third parties to get a decent shot at dethroning them, so the two parties right now, are not going to willingly go for a new voting system since the current one ensures that they only have one rival during elections.

      It doesn’t benefit either party, so neither is going to agree to change it.
